Although it wasn’t the first tablet, the original Apple iPad, released in 2010, was the first to spark the notion that tablets were the perfect bridge between smaller smartphones and large, clunky laptops. A tablet revolution quickly ensued with companies like Google, Samsung, LG, Amazon, Microsoft – really, any electronics manufacturer – contributing to the cause. 7 years on, however, tablet sales have slowed down drastically for almost everybody.

It’s not hard to conclude why tablets have had such a short-lived growth period, the most obvious reason being that people simply don’t update their tablets as often as they do their smartphones. Tablets also tend to be a “from time-to-time” device rather than a “daily driver” for people. Less use means less wear and tear and one fewer reason to spend money on a new one.

In more recent years, however, I believe smartphone trends play an even bigger role in slowing down tablet growth, namely that most smartphones are no longer the tiny handhelds that they were 7 years ago; many smartphones are now considered what we once called “phablets”. Nowadays, big smartphones are just the status quo. I don’t think anybody even calls them phablets anymore, but I do because I’m stubborn. Finding a smartphone with a screen smaller than 5 inches is a rarity, and looks to become an even rarer occurrence with the new trend of slimming down bezels to make way for larger screens (which fortunately doesn’t increase physical size, so it’s a good thing).

Between smartphones being as powerful as they are – even in the lower end models – and their large screens, there often isn’t a need for tablets anymore. Although completely anecdotal, most people I know who own tablets only use it for casual usage like web browsing, emails, and media consumption (mostly video watching). And although smartphone screens tend to hover around the 5 to 5.8-inch range, these screens are much easier to watch videos on than the old 3.5-inch iPhones of yore. Additionally, they’re even more convenient to pocket and carry around than tablets.

The few exceptions are those who use their tablets for more demanding purposes that may require a tablet’s larger display, such as business-related tasks, photo or video editing, and drawing or digital painting, which are all things that higher end tablets can typically handle quite efficiently. The other two exceptions I can think of are younger children, who are not yet ready for smartphones, and older adults, who don’t care for smartphones to handle simpler tasks like phone calls. Otherwise, most of the people I know are quite content with their older tablets to handle the basics year after year. One of my friends still happily uses an iPad 2 on the rare occasion that she even uses it. I myself only recently sold my iPad Air because I simply didn’t have a need for it anymore as my Surface Book doubles as a tablet, which, incidentally, I hardly ever use.

I used to be a big fan of tablets. I thought they were a great in-between gadget for when I needed something bigger than my phone’s 3.5-inch screen but smaller and lighter than my hefty laptops. Even though my phone is not much bigger now with its 4-inch display, I find that any tablet I impulsively buy for myself ends up collecting dust in a drawer somewhere. Instead of being a good on-the-go gadget, I find them rather useless. I think that comes down to personal preference because I’ve grown tired of clutter in my life and I’m perfectly content using a smartphone when it’s convenient and a laptop when it’s not, but many people I know hardly use their tablets anymore simply because their phone is both large and powerful enough to do the trick.

I do wonder if this is the beginning of the end of tablets. They did a good job bridging that gap between gadgets when they initially came onto the scene, but for the general consumer it would seem that their usefulness is not as useful as it used to be.

WASHINGTON: The US defence chief says he intends to “work hard on finding the common ground” and “work together” with Pakistan — where he is due to arrive Monday for his first visit since taking over the charge of the Pentagon.

US Secretary of Defence James Mattis’ trip aims “to re-affirm the enduring US commitment to partnerships” in the region, according to a press release by the Department of Defense.

Mattis began his crucial, five-day tour of the Middle East — including Egypt, Jordan, and Kuwait — and Islamabad on Friday. He is set to meet Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa.

Having underscored earlier that Washington wants to see progress in the Pakistan-US relations, the defence secretary will hold discussions on regional security, peace, bilateral issues, and the Afghan conflict — something of key importance especially after US President Donald Trump announced the new regional strategy in August this year.

Speaking to reporters travelling with him in the Middle East, the American defence head said, “We have heard from Pakistan leaders that they do not support terrorism. So I expect to see that sort of action reflected in their policies.”

When asked if he was going to press the Pakistani leaders to take more action against the insurgents, Mattis stated that the country was taking action in its own best interests and “that’s not the way I deal with issues”.

“I believe that we work hard on finding the common ground and then we work together.”

“There’s plenty of collaborative areas, right now, still in effect. There’s been some areas that we have lost over the years, because of disagreements about what we need to do,” he said.

“We’ll discuss the South Asia strategy,” the secretary noted, saying that he had already visited India and Afghanistan and it was a continued dialogue that the US had for the process to ensure peace in Afghan.

“The US remains committed to a pragmatic relationship that expands cooperation on shared interests” while reinforcing Trump’s call for action against the alleged safe havens, Mattis said.

On Saturday, he had said indiscriminate action by Islamabad against the alleged terrorist safe havens inside the country are in the regional and Pakistan’s interest, US media reported.

Mattis also said Pakistan has taken significant casualties — both innocent people and its army — from the terrorists.

However, it is noteworthy that Mattis’ optimism comes despite the US’ continuing claims that Islamabad has not been making enough efforts to wipe out militants within its borders.

The American top brass has long been frustrated by what they see is Pakistan’s reluctance to act against groups such as the Afghan Taliban and the Haqqani network, which launch attacks on neighbouring Afghanistan.

General John Nicholson — the US Army’s top general in Afghanistan — issued an unexpected statement last week, alleging there have been no changes in Islamabad’s support for militant networks.

“We have been very direct and very clear with the Pakistanis… We have not seen those changes implemented yet,” Nicholson had told reporters, adding that he believed that senior Taliban leaders were based in the country, while the lower level leadership was in Afghanistan.

“We are hoping to see those changes, we are hoping to work together with the Pakistanis going forward to eliminate terrorists who are crossing” the border, he had said.

Pakistan, nevertheless, says it has done a great deal to help the US in tracking down terrorists.

Its military — in response to Trump’s accusation that Islamabad was harbouring “agents of chaos” and offering safe havens to militant groups waging an insurgency against a US-backed government in Kabul — had brushed off speculation that the American head of state could signal a stronger line against Islamabad.

“Let it come,” Major General Asif Ghafoor — the Pakistani military spokesman — had told reporters. “Even if it comes… Pakistan shall do whatever is best in the national interest.”

Commencing his trip to the Middle East and South Asia on Friday, he reached Egypt a day later and was due to travel to Jordan on Sunday, before arriving in Pakistan today.

Mattis’ final stop will be in Kuwait Tuesday, where he will meet Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah.

Bethesda is no stranger to seeing success with its games, but even Elder Scrolls Online wasn’t expected to do as well as it has. And now that it’s reached a magnificent new player count, the publisher is more than ready to celebrate.

The company has announced that it has reached over ten million players taking part in the online adventure, and, adding a victory lap to the occasion, it has announced a number of events and promotions surrounding that audience count.

First up, the game will see a full-on Free Play Week across the board, for PlayStation 4, PC and Mac. It’ll run from November 30th through December 6th, and during that time, you’ll be able to explore a great number of quests and dungeons within the game. (Sadly, the Morrowind expansion is not included.) Here’s the breakdown of what’s all included, straight from the publisher:

A Massive Open World of Adventure: Access to the full The Elder Scrolls Online base game (not including ESO: Morrowind). Go wherever you want with whoever you want for hundreds of hours in the massive open world.

Progress Retention: Progress made from previous Free Play events are retained for those who choose to return. Any characters created, Crown Packs purchased, or Crown Store items bought, as well as any progress made during Free Play Week, will carry over for those who decide to purchase the full game.

Just a quick note: if you’re playing on PlayStation 4, you will need a PlayStation Plus membership to join in.

On top of that, there will also be a special in-game dungeon event taking place all week long, for a chance to win bonus in-game awards, including consumables and collectible prize packs, with pets, mounts and costumes to be earned. All you’ll need to do is complete a random dungeon through the Dungeon Finder (on Normal or Veteran difficulty) and you’ll earn a Mysterious Reward Box with goodies inside. Free Play Week players can also take part in the fun.

Finally, for those of you looking to pick up the game for cheap, it’ll be available for 50 percent off all week long, running from the 30th through the 6th. This includes the PlayStation 4, PC and Mac versions.

Congrats to Bethesda on reaching this great new feat, and we can’t wait to see what’s next for the game world! Check out the celebration trailer below!

Pakistan has been ranked the fourth worst country in terms of women’s peace, security, inclusion and justice, according to recently released rankings of the Women, Peace and Security Index.

The Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security, in its index, has placed Pakistan at 150th among 153 countries ranked for women’s inclusion, justice and security, with the highest discrimination against women in the world and the lowest financial inclusion.

Women’s average years of schooling in the country stands at only five years, while only 33 percent of Pakistani women have been found to use mobile phones. Only 24 percent of women in Pakistan are employed, while their share of seats in parliament stands at only 20 percent.

1.09 males are born for every female born in Pakistan, which is higher than the 1.05 natural demographic rate, meaning that Pakistanis have a son bias, claims the study, conducted in partnership with the Peace Research Institute of Oslo.

It also identifies around 500,000 “missing girls” in Pakistan between 2010-15, which indicates that half a million more female children should have been born in the country during the period were it not for the son-bias.

The report also states that 73 percent of Pakistani men do not find it perfectly acceptable for women in their family to work outside their homes.

About 27 percent women in the country suffer lifetime intimate partner violence or domestic violence and their perception of community safety stands at 51 percent.

According to the index, only Syria, Afghanistan and Yemen are worse for women.

Iceland has been ranked as the best country for women with an average index rating of 0.886, followed by Norway and Switzerland with 0.879 and 0.871 rating, respectively.

India stands at 131st on the index, while United States is at 22nd and United Kingdom at 12th.

Is your computer spying on you? It’s a question not too many people ask though, as owners of Lenovo PCs recently learned, it might be one that we should be asking more often. Lenovo recently agreed to pay a $3.5 million fine for installing pre-installing adware on their hardware without the owners’ consent. It has been reported in Computer World(via Engadget) that HP is installing troublesome software without user permission.

The software in question, HP Touchpoint Analytics Service, is a piece of telemetry software which seems to be a replacement for the old HP Touchpoint Manager. The software’s description says that it gives you “the tools you need to ensure all your managed devices’ security — and brings you greater peace of mind.” Unfortunately, it installs itself and has caused trouble for some PC users.

Over on HP’s official website, one user complained that the problem had gotten so bad that they were afraid to use their computer because they were worried the added workload might cause it to crash. They also noted that a driver had repeatedly failed to install.

“…It’s been making my computer work so hard I can hear it like cranking away and the light in the back of my computer is flashing rapidly in-tune with the cranking,” the user Purplepassion22 wrote. “In Task Manager I can see it starting and stopping numours[sic] applications, it’s client service and installer, console window host, command prompts, timeout-pause command prompt, it’s causing a lot of up and down use of antimalware service executable and local system. I’ve been able to use my computer while it’s doing all of that, but I don’t want to use my computer because I fear all that activity plus me will cause my computer to shut down…”

As of right now, it isn’t really clear how this piece of software was installed. It is possible it came with a recent Windows update or as part of an HP support update. Regardless, it does appear to be installing itself without permission and some users aren’t happy with their data being collected without their consent.

“I found HP Touchpoint Manager unexpectedly deployed on my PC earlier this week (16/11) – obviously without my consent,” wrote krzemien on the HP forums. “I understand that it hoovers all sorts of telemetry data – and I am not willing to share too much of it really, definitely not without my knowledge.”

On the bright side, the software can be removed easily and without too much trouble. However, numerous tech companies, such as OnePlus, have gotten in trouble recently over privacy concerns.

Elaborating the success story of Japan as a country that emerged from ashes after World War-II Governor Sindh said, the name of Japan is widely known for quality and standard that could compete with any product in the world.The Governor Sindh Mohammad Zubair emphasized to learn the skill of transforming human capital and use available resources to transform the country.He was addressing at a round-table conference on the eve of 65 Years of Diplomatic Relations between Pakistan and Japan jointly organized by Daily Pakistan Observer and the Pakistan-Japan Business Forum at a local hotel here on Wednesday.He further said we have to follow the path of Japan for the development of the industrial structure to energy generation by using clean environment theory.Zubair said education is key to everything in success and developing a nation and there are several models to follow but the Japan and some other countries model were encouraging.“We have tried so many things for developing our country but unfortunately we take one step forward and two steps back,” Zubair pointed, added, we have right potential and human resource for success.Recalling Relations between Japan and Pakistan, he said, we have always been very friendly, cordial and based on mutual cooperation and understanding. Diplomatic relations between the two countries were established on April 28, 1952, and now we are celebrating the 65th years of close cooperation between the two nations, he added.Japan has remained as one of the major bilateral development partners to Pakistan since 1954, extending assistance in multifaceted sectors of development. Diplomatic relations between Pakistan and Japan have always been highly significant.Japan is a major trading partner of Pakistan and a major donor for development projects. However, bilateral trade has been in favour of Japan due to the unsatisfactory performance on the part of exports from Pakistan. To bridge this gap, Pakistan needs to move away from the traditional export of raw materials and concentrate more on value-added goods, the

governor added.Japan supports Pakistan’s counter-terrorism efforts in the sea by providing fresh water and fuel to Pakistani vessels participating in the Operation Enduring Freedom-Maritime Interdiction Operation, he added.He appreciated Japan’s generous technical and financial assistance since 1954 and Pakistan issued a special postage stamp in 2004.Recognizing the geopolitical importance of Pakistan and appreciating its role in fighting terrorism, Japan announced further expanding strong collaboration at all levels, the governor added.Both the countries affirmed to work towards a renewed, enhanced and robust relationship and signed a declaration on April 30, 2005.Pakistan is strategically located, besides offering a market with over 200 million people. It possesses right manpower available and is blessed with natural resources that any nation could desire.Pakistan offers immense opportunities to Japanese investors to establish and expand their businesses. To ensure enabling the environment for Japanese investors, Pakistan has established Special Economic Zone for the Japanese with attractive benefits such as sole ownership, tax exemptions, repatriation of earnings and one-window operations.Earlier, in his welcome address, the Editor-In-Chief of Pakistan Observer Faisal Zahid Malik said Japanese post-war diplomacy in Asia began with Pakistan when they exchanged high-level visits in the early 60s. On the international front, Pakistan and Japan hold similar perceptions on major issues, he added.Keeping in view this important relationship between the two countries,Daily Pakistan Observer and the Pakistan-Japan Business Forum have jointly hosted a round-table conference to mark the 65th anniversary between the two countries.The relationship between Japan and Pakistan have always been friendly, understanding and based on mutual cooperation. Diplomatic relations between the two countries were established on April 28, 1952, he added.Faisal Zahid Malik said, “We celebrate the 65 years of close cooperation between the two friendly nations, this relationship can be traced back to 538 AD when today’s Pakistan, then a cradle of the Gandhara civilization, served as a source for the promotion ofBuddhism in Japan.” The year 2017 marks the 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Pakistan and Japan.During all this period, Pak-Japan relations have traditionally been strong.Japan was a source of aspiration as Pakistan constructed its industry and economy in the 1950s and 1960s. Meanwhile, it was Pakistan that pleaded the case for post-war Japan including early restoration of its sovereignty and economy.Pakistan Observer is actively engaged in highlighting the national and international issues by holding Round Table Conferences and publishingSpecial Reports and Supplements. Pakistan Observer has the privilege of hosting three very successful RTCs on Islamic Banking, Investment Conference, Energy Crises, Nuclear Power Plants in Karachi, Kashmir issue etc. The very successful RTC of the Pakistan Observer titled China-The Peace Maker was held on September 27, 2017, in Karachi to which we received tremendous response from all concerned quarters.The Chief Executive Officer of Mitsubishi Corporation, Kimihide Ando said Pakistan is a business partner of Japan. We have a long relationship with the people of Pakistan and we speak the same language of business, he added. The business environment has improved immensely in Pakistan and there is a need for further improvement in this regard, he added.President Habib Metropolitan Bank, Sirajuddin Aziz said Japanese products are top of the line and known to quality as well as standard.Outlining the Japanese economic growth after Second World War, he said Japan kick-start its economic agenda from $102 billion to now 5 trillion dollar GDP. The reason behind its flourishing economy is stability in policies. Since 1945, there are about 45 prime ministers that mark the stability of Japan, he added.Japan’s economy increase a little in numbers but its impact is too big on its economic ground, he added.“Japan is the nation of followers and we (Pakistan) as a country of leaders, a country with 22 million leaders,” he remarked.Sirajuddin Aziz said, “We need to align our priorities for success and use available resources.”Chairman Arif Habib Group, Arif Habib said Japan is the name of quality and commitment. Pakistan has many problems but at the same time, we have a right potential for growth.Pakistan offers many opportunities for investment, especially in the energy sector, the project of RLNG where Japan has the right expertise to work and invest. The government planned 20,000 megawatts of electricity that includes clean and alternate energy such as wind and solar power, he pointed out.Pakistan possesses the huge potential of coal-based energy as well as solar and wind energy that is not burdening the consumers and at the same time right area to investment for foreign companies, he said, adding, another area is automobile and steel sector that possesses immense potential.Japan could work together in various areas of investment that have potential and where we have the future, he added.The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Pakistan Japan Business Forum, Sohail Pervez Ahmed said the trade balance is in favor of Japan.During last two years, there are some activities between the two countries and there are some new coming and open their offices for businesses, he informed.It is unfortunate that we have not implemented early harvest system in Pakistan as Japan had trained people in this regard, he said, adding, “We need to use Japan’s have expertise and strength in other areas such as industry, infrastructure and power generation sector.”Former Chief Executive Officer of Trade Development Authority (TDAP) S M Muneer informed the conference that from next coming season, Pakistan would export huge quantity of quality mangoes to Japan.Japan should give some priority to Pakistan in leather export like Bangladesh on zero rate duty. Japan charge heavy duty on Pakistani leather that is why we are unable to compete, he saidConsul General of Japan, Toshikazu Isomura said we are working and doing business in this geographical area since 1919, but due to World War-II, Japan had suspended the trade. Japan restarted trade in1953 with Pakistan from importing raw cotton. Currently, there are many Japanese companies working in Pakistan, he added.He said, “I salute the people who arranged this conference to mark the 65th years of friendship with us (Japan).”In 1985, I first came to Pakistan and I have the friendship with some Pakistani friends living in mountains and always discuss Japan’s wartime stories, he recalled.He said that a Japanese Company Hitachi made turbines for Pakistan’s first Nuclear Power Plant— Karachi Nuclear Power Plant (KANUPP) in the early 70s.He desired that he wanted to link some city of Pakistan with any Japanese city as twin cities and I will continue to work on that.

Pakistan ranked fourth among worst countries for women: study

OSLO: According to the latest findings of a study carried by The Women, Peace and Security Index, Pakistan has been ranked the fourth worst country in terms of womenâs peace, security, inclusion and justice.

The Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security, in its Women Peace and Security Index, has placed Pakistan on the 150th slot among 153 countries.

The study, conducted in partnership with the Peace Research Institute of Oslo, ranks Iceland as the best country for women with an average index rating of 0.886, followed by Norway and Switzerland with 0.879 and 0.871 rating respectively.

Syrian Arab Republic has been adjudicated as the worst country for women average index rating of 0.385, followed by Afghanistan with 0.385 and Yemen with 0.407. Pakistan skipped being among the top worst three with a rating of 0.441.

As per report, women’s average years of schooling in the country stands at only five years, while only 33 per cent of Pakistani women have been found to use cellphones. Only 24pc of Pakistani women are employed, while their share of seats in parliament stands at only 20pc.

The report claims that 1.09 males are born for every female born in Pakistan, which is higher than the 1.05 natural demographic rate, meaning that Pakistanis have a son bias.

the studyÂ claimsÂ thatÂ around 500,000 âmissing girlsâ in Pakistan between 2010-15, which indicates that half a million more female children should have been born in the country during the period.

It also states that 73pc of Pakistani men do not find it perfectly acceptable for women in their family to work outside their homes.

The study estimates that 27 per cent women in the country suffer lifetime intimate partner violence or domestic violence and their perception of community safety stands at 51 per cent.

Standing between Pakistani propaganda and the Indian nation can be a full time job, especially when it comes to issues about Indian Muslims. It is an enshrined doctrine in Pakistan that India’s fault lines will remain its Achilles heel. The recent controversy – generated by crude video clips inserted into social media networks and reinvigoration of a Pakistani media article of March 2010 – is nothing but a ham handed but potentially mischievous campaign by Pakistan’s Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR).

Uday Deb

It’s an issue very few in India know much about: Indian Muslim presence in India’s armed forces and issues concerning alleged disloyalty to the nation, on which across the board gullibility is very high. The essence of the Pakistani disinformation is that a Muslim Regiment existed in the Indian Army till 1965, but was disbanded because in that conflict 20,000 Muslims refused to fight Pakistan.

Thereafter not a single Muslim participated in the 1971 conflict (another lie). Secondly, the percentage of Muslim servicemen as per the article is drastically below the ratio of Muslim population in India. The March 2010 article is more academic, highlighting research by an Indian Muslim scholar in the US who finds no rationale for this or for absence of reservation for Muslims in the armed forces.

Such projections obfuscate reality on the ground. Post-Independence, majority of Muslim officers and soldiers migrated to Pakistan, leaving a minuscule minority as the core or seed element of Indian Muslim servicemen distributed in different regiments and units. In that context new Muslim, Christian or Buddhist regiments made no sense as ethnic and regional identity took priority over faith as entities of representation. However, sub units comprising only Muslims do exist in many units of the Grenadiers, the Rajputana Rifles, Rajput Regiment and some cavalry regiments.

There was no Muslim Regiment ever and certainly not in 1965. But Muslims fighting as part of multi class regiments proved their absolute commitment and worth. Abdul Hamid’s Param Vir Chakra, although a legend, is insufficiently recalled today. Major (later Lt Gen) Mohammad Zaki and Major Abdul Rafey Khan both won the Vir Chakra, the latter posthumously even as he battled the Pakistani division commanded by his uncle, Maj Gen Sahibzada Yaqub Khan.

Such were the legends of Muslim warriors in 1965. The same followed in 1971. In later years Muslim bravehearts of the Indian army proved their mettle in Kargil and in fighting terror groups in J&K. Three army commanders, three corps commanders and a number of two star generals make up the community’s share of achievements in higher ranks.

The public needs to be educated on two aspects of manning in the Indian Army to counter Pakistani ‘psyops’. First, officer ranks. A commissioned officer goes to any regiment or unit irrespective of his ethnicity or faith or that of the regiment. He could be in command of mixed ‘All India All Class’ troops or of a sub unit comprising a single ethnicity.

I, a Muslim, was commissioned in Garhwal Rifles, a pure Hindu regiment with recruitment base only in Garhwal in Uttarakhand. Simply put, the faith of my troops became my faith; similarly their culture, language and food habits have never left me. Indian army officers uniquely remain comfortable with this arrangement, as do their families; it is an ethos not many Indians understand let alone Pakistanis who have never shared a bench or a tiffin box with people of another faith.

Manning below officer ranks is slightly different. Based upon social parameters each state has a recruitable male population (RMP) index. This is based upon the age profile and educational qualifications of the male population among other parameters. There is no reservation based upon profiling by faith, class, caste or ethnicity.

Rightly, in a diverse society the percentages by profile are not revealed as these will always become a subject of controversy which the close brotherhood of the uniform can ill afford. No doubt the Muslim representation at both officer and below officer level may not match its percentage of the population. But efforts to improve that are an ongoing phenomenon as education profiles and awareness improve.

In the officer cadre in particular, since it is open competition, regions with stronger education and awareness profile do have greater population percentage qualifying to be officers. Awareness makes a major difference and that is where the system may have erred in insufficient confidence building among some segments.

In my tours to educate various backward classes on opportunities i have been stumped by Muslim response, when they refuse to believe there is a place for them in the Indian army. Even the case of my own family, where father and son both became generals, is not easily believable by many Muslims.

This perception is exploited by Pakistan, with the additional misperception that it is not easy for them to follow their culture and faith in the forces. Exactly the opposite is true. The essence of India’s plural faith and culture is best symbolised by the armed forces but the projection of that to the recruiting base has been insufficient.

The ease with which Pakistan’s ISPR can exploit non-issues and half truths to advantage for its ‘psyops’ is a reflection of our studied weakness and longtime inability to develop a better communication strategy. More awareness among Indian Muslims and garnering the clergy in social outreach about the opportunities that India has to offer will go far in neutralising Pakistan’s intent.

Although Sony has revealed quite a lot of exclusives throughout 2017, padded out through events such as E3 and its Paris Games Week, it has one more event to close out the year. PlayStation Experience 2017 lands on December 9th, and Sony has announced its full line-up of what to expect.

While there’s nothing big to expect during PlayStation Experience as the heavy hitters like God of War, Insomniac’s Spider-Man, Days Gone and many more have already seen in-depth showcases, it does have “a few stocking stuffers” in time for the holiday period.

Of course, PlayStation Experience will be preceded by festivities and opening parties of all kinds, but the main event kicks off at 7pm in the UK and 8pm throughout Central Europe on the 9th December with PlayStation’s VR game panel. This is something that Sony has invested heavily into over the past year, however the event will see “a candid conversation between two legends as they discuss developing their new PS VR title and lessons from VR development.”

Following that is Media Molecule’s Dreams presented by Siobhan Reddy, Mark Healey and Alex Evans at 8:30pm GMT/9:30pm CET. This is a title that hasn’t seen much coverage over the past year, so it will be interesting to see how far the team has come along.

The Elder Scrolls Online has hit a milestone of 10 million players, and is celebrating in a few different ways.

The ’10 Million Stories’ in-game dungeon event, which begins on November 30 at 10:00AM EST and goes until the same time on December 6, will give players a Mysterious Rewards Box whenever they complete a random dungeon via the Dungeon Finder.

For every day that you complete one of these dungeon events, you’ll also enter a sweepstakes to win some amazing prizes, including a trip for two to PAX East 2018, every in-game collectible available, and the opportunity to get made into an NPC who will live within the world of Elder Scrolls Online.

During this time period, the game will also be completely free to play on PC, Mac, and PS4 (although not on Xbox One, sadly, although they just got one a month ago). This means that even if you’ve never played Elder Scrolls Online before, you can dive in over that week and complete these dungeon challenges to unlock rare items, which you’ll then get to hold onto if you decide to pay for and keep the game.

It’s good to see that Elder Scrolls Online is surviving with a healthy player count – if you’re after a new MMO experience, it might be worth checking out during this upcoming week.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi rejected U.S. accusations that the country provides sanctuary to militant groups and said attacks in the region were originating across the border in Afghanistan.

In an interview in Islamabad last Friday as a right-wing Islamist group choked the capital and officials marketed the country to international bond investors, Abbasi said Pakistan would act against terrorists found within its borders, including the Taliban-affiliated Haqqani network.

Yet his administration has been shaken by weeks of hardline religious protests and has come under harsh criticism over a court decision to release accused terrorist Hafiz Saeed, underscoring the difficulty Abbasi’s government faces in dealing with extremist elements in Pakistan. On Monday, Zahid Hamid stepped down as law minister after the little-known Tehreek-e-Labaik party demanded his resignation for overseeing changes to a reference to the Prophet Muhammad in a lawmakers’ oath, viewed as blasphemous.

The turmoil showed the government’s struggle to restrain right-wing groups, including those suspected of having the backing of the military. Abbasi said there were “some extremist elements among the protesters.”

Cross-Border Attacks

Islamabad and Washington are at loggerheads over Donald Trump’s demands in August that Pakistan take tougher action against terrorists operating within its borders — part of a U.S. attempt to bring resolution to the 16-year war in Afghanistan.

Both Pakistan’s government and military protested that the U.S. didn’t recognize the thousands of Pakistani servicemen and civilians who had died in the war on terror. The army also started fencing its porous and disputed border with Afghanistan in an effort to contain attacks, a move that prompted a furious response from Kabul.

“We have asked them to share any intelligence about the Haqqani network, we will take action,” Abbasi said. “The attacks however are being made from across the border, we have pinpointed even the sanctuaries of the attackers. Cross-border infiltration from Afghanistan is the order of the day.”

U.S. Pressure

American officials have kept up the pressure. General Joseph Votel, commander of U.S. Central Command, met with Pakistan army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa two weeks ago following Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s trip to Islamabad last month. Both urged Pakistan to take action against militants.

Still Pakistan has failed to stop insurgents crossing into Afghanistan, even as it has made progress against those who attack its own soil, U.S. General John Nicholson, the top commander in Afghanistan, told reporters on Tuesday.

“There is no room for them to take a tough stance here, because Pakistan is the country which is fighting the war on terror,” Abbasi said. “Somebody gives us intelligence and we will act upon it. It is our war, not theirs.”

Pakistan has long been accused of covertly supporting outfits that strike Afghanistan and India. Having fought multiple wars with India, Pakistan’s security establishment fears domination by its arch-rival and having a stable pro-Indian administration in Afghanistan.

‘At Odds’

“With the U.S. and India claiming that Pakistan is an originator of terror, and Pakistan reluctant to meaningfully crack down on terror groups, the two sides will inevitably be at odds,” said Shailesh Kumar, a senior South Asia analyst at Eurasia Group.

When asked if Pakistan would move against Taliban leaders who have allegedly lived for years in the southwestern Pakistani city of Quetta, Abbasi said “we will act against them if they really exist.”

Abbasi reiterated that Trump’s troop increase and support to Afghanistan will end in failure and urged the Afghan government and the Taliban to agree to peace talks.

“We have assured them of whatever assistance we would be able to offer, but things are quite fragmented on that side,” he said. “Pakistan has tried twice, but the talks have been sabotaged.”

Mumbai Attacks

The U.S. also escalated its criticism of Pakistan last week after a high court in Lahore ordered the release of Saeed from house arrest. India and the U.S. accuse Saeed of masterminding the 2008 Mumbai attacks and claim he is the leader of terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba, charges Saeed denies. The White House warned his release may damage bilateral relations.

“The court, a three-judge bench, has released him saying there are no charges against him, the country has a law you know,” Abbasi said. “Prosecute him internationally if there is substance to these charges — these are accusations only. No evidence has been provided by India.”

However, India says it has provided evidence to Pakistan. Indian foreign ministry spokesman Raveesh Kumar didn’t respond to requests for comment.

For Pakistan, Saeed is still “an important asset” as the U.S. pushes India into Afghanistan, according to Shamila Chaudhary, a former White House and State Department official who’s now a fellow at Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. “Why would the Pakistan military allow for the imprisonment of one of its most influential proxies against India when it needs it the most?”
